    Aftermarket suspension that's a bit softer?

    I have the TSportline lowering springs installed on my Model 3 AWD. It does help the ride to be smoother and more comfortable versus the harsher ride with the stiffer factory springs. Tesla Model 3 Sport Lowering Springs

    Cost to install lowering springs and alignment

    BTW, after driving with the TSportline lowering springs for more than a week, I can say that they definitely do help the ride in my Model 3 AWD to be more smoother and comfortable versus the factory springs that have a more harsher ride.

    Firmware 1.34.3 issues

    I had 1.32.0 since my 2 Powerwalls were installed in early January 2019. This morning around 6am on April 6th I emailed [email protected] and asked that my Powerwalls be updated. Around 6 hours later they were updated to 1.34.3. All of the backup history is still there.

    Powerwall Location: Eyesore vs. Performance vs. Noise

    I'll go with the interior choice 3. Keeping them inside away from the weather I would think can enhance their performance so they don't need to expend extra energy to keep warm or cool. My 2 Powerwalls are very quiet inside my garage, just a very faint hum from their fans. The only time when...

    Foam in wheelwells?

    A dealer could easily do the undercoating for the wheelwells. I was able to do it myself and took about an hour of time for each wheel. But I'm not sure about undercoating the portion where the high voltage battery is. That battery is thick and not sure if there is much road noise transmitted...

    Cost break down (please share your quotes)

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Yes, the Eaton UPS are more pricey than the CyberPower UPS. I believed the grid outage I experienced after my Powerwalls were installed occurred around the last weekend of January, either 26th or 27th.

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    My recent grid outage only lasted about one minute. During the grid outage, the CyberPower UPS was powering my PC from its internal battery until the grid power came back on in about one minute. The rest of the house was running off of the Powerwalls during that one minute grid outage.

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    In addition to my CyberPower UPS, I also recently purchased an Eaton 5P750 UPS for another desktop PC. The Eaton 5P750 is a Pure Sine Wave UPS. Good unit in spec with a wide input frequency range of 56.5 to 70 Hz that should handle well on switch overs to Powerwall when a grid outage occurs...

    Here are my costs for the 2 Powerwalls I signed the contract for in October 2018 with Tesla Energy. They were reserved in May 2018 and installed in January 2019. I didn't get any CA SGIP as that ran out for Tesla Energy, but I will file for the 30% tax credit when I do the taxes for 2019...

    Powerwall: "You will not even notice that the power went out."

    It was definitely noticeable. Had an one minute loss of grid power and my computer restarted, lights flickered.

    Made deposit for 2 powerwalls - short wait time

    I ordered/reserved directly with Tesla in May 2018. Although with that, I missed out on the SGIP rebate as Tesla already maxed out on their allocation. But it looks like the SGIP rebate might still be available to 3rd party certified installers. Powerwall and California SGIP | Tesla Support
